    Well,
    starting from Jul 2004, following the well known string of IE related
    security incidents, the share of IE users has shrinked frm the previous
    9% or so.

    The best estimates nowadays bring gecko based browsers somewhere around
    25% at least and I would bet that that will go up until MS does
    something a bit more radical than patching IE6 :)

    So those guys are losing a potential 25% of their customer base.

    Should they care ? If they have competition they sure would.

    This is a sign of stupidly incompetent web coders ...
